It was on the evening of June 3, 1947 during a meeting of all the juke box men, that it was agreed upon to appoint a three man legal committee. As the industry already knows, and as appeared exclusively in The Cash Box, this committee is composed of Sidney H. Levine, attorney for the New York music operators association; Sol L. Kessel- man, attorney for the Music Guild of America, Newark, N. J., also representing the operators of Central New Jersey; and Wm. H. Rosenfeld, attorney for the Cleveland and Ohio state music merchants' associations.

At this meeting, the evening of June 3, 1947, The Cash Box was named “the official magazine of the Automatic Music Industry of America”, by the many noted juke box 'THE CONFIDENTIAL WEEKLY oT leaders who were present, for its efforts and its endeavors THE COIN MACHINE INDUSTRY' to help foster the better welfare of all concerned with the automatic music field.

"Honey, Be My Honey Bee"

"It Makes No DitFerence Now" DAVE DENNY

(Signature 1016) o Dave Denny can be counted among the more capable warblers of western styled melody, and on this disk he scores well enough to take top honors among the stack of boots and saddles stuff heard at our last session. Pairing “It Makes No Difference Now,” a familiar and successful melody that echoes ro- mance on the wide open spaces, with “Honey, Be My Honey Bee,” a more recent novelty ditty, ops should find the combination tailor-made to phono use in whatever locations the lads and lassies like their wax cut to a cowboy pattern. Give it a whirl.

"Texas Guitar Boogie"

"Ace In The Hole" TEXAS TOP HANDS (Savoy 3012) • Certainly among the top disks heard this week is this offering by the Texas Top Hands of a pair of crackerjack sides that should appeal wherever the demand is for this type of musical styling. Offer- ing a great all-instrumental on “Texas an interpretation remin- Guitar Boogie,” Four Vagabonds iscent of the great and recent “Guitar Boogie,” the boys prove their versatility ARA George Jessel (Album A-9) by switching to the very nostaligic “Ace In The Hole” on the other deck.

(Capitol 40006) • Merle Travis can always be depended upon to come thru with a pair of moneymakers, and on this latest release he upholds his reputation along those lines. Presenting “I’m Sick And Tired Of You Little Darling,” and “Lawdy What A Gal,” little can be said of the originality of the melodies themselves, but they are lively and pleasant, and Merle offers them EDWARD B.^MARKS MUSIC C6RPOR4tlON in fine style.

NKW YORK — Duke Ellington’s orchestra withdrew from the Musicraft Records picture this past week and is reported negotiating with at least two major recording companies for a sub- stantial contract. Had Ellington agreed to stand by his present contract with the platter firm, 'V he could have seriously hampered the re- financing deal just concluded by the diskery, it was learned. It is reported that the well known maestro settled for a minimum cancellation figure instead, with several penalty stipulations involved in his favor. Columbia Records has been reported bidding for Ellington’s services, since it is well known in the music business that the plattery does not have a headline star of the Ellington caliber; aside from Cab Calloway. Since Count Basie left the former diskery, they have produced little, if any, records by a top Negro .star.

DETROIT, MICH. — Following closely on the action taken by the Cleveland and Ohio State music merchants associations, the Michigan Automatic Phono- graph Owners Association, Inc., of which Morris Goldman is president, decided this past week to ban any future Fred War- ing recordings and not to play them in juke boxes in this state.

The association thru its members unanimously passed a resolution that if any artist felt as Fred Waring did (that constant repetition of an artists’ recordings in a juke box hurt the artist) that they will refrain from playing these records.

More and more ops thruout the state have pulled any of the Waring record- iiigs which they might have had in their boxes tho there are very few of them in existence at this time.

It is understood, tho, that Waring has just pressed a new release with Bing Crosby singing the vocal.

It is also reported that operators in other states thruout the country are also banning any of the Waring records and The clock or governor may truly be will not use any recordings which he may make in the future. All juke box considered the heart of the CHIEF coinmen are of the opinion that in this way they will not hurt Waring if they mechanism. All action is timed and keep his records out of their boxes. controlled by the clock.
